Antique French Rug 50471

Antique French Rug, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century– French rugs are characterized by their spectacular knotted weave pile and soft pastel colors. French style rugs were heavily influenced by the convergence of Arab, Christian, Jewish and Berber populations on the Iberian peninsula. This rug is typical of French rugs – notice how the soft yellow and green pastels and European-style vine scrolling contrasts with the rich red and geometric design of the center medallion. Far less ornate than other traditional styles of rug, the relatively sparse design of this piece allows the eye to take in the fantastic color scheme.
